Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Tier List - Best Classes for DPS, Tank & Healer

Class

Spec

Notes

Marksman

Beastmaster

Exceptional performance combining high damage with accessible gameplay. The wolf companion handles significant combat duties, enabling consistent damage from safe positions. Functions effectively without complex gear requirements. While AoE capability remains average, it excels in boss encounters and general content with remarkable comfort and security.

Specializes in "Storm Arrow" with enhanced Wild Wolf synergy.

Frost Mage

Frostlance

A versatile and potent spellcaster. It excels in both scenarios: "Meteorstorm" for AoE situations and "Ice Spears" for single-target focus. Managing "Frost Crystals" to instant-cast spells provides a fluid and satisfying combat loop. It's a flexible, powerful, and well-rounded damage dealer suitable for various content.

The core mechanic involves gaining "Frost Crystals" to bypass cast times on special attacks.

Beat Performer

Dissonance

The premier support spec that redefines the role. Its core mechanic converts a portion of damage dealt into healing, seamlessly blending offense and support. This scaling effect turns you into a sustain engine for the party. When played effectively, it maintains team health while contributing significant damage, making it a must-have for serious groups.

It uses "Amplified Beat" as its Special Attack, with "Heroic Melody" enhancing damage and healing conversion.

Heavy Guardian

Block

The gold standard for tanking. This specialization offers the best damage mitigation in the game, providing incredibly stable threat generation and survivability. Its smooth skill rotation makes a healer's job much easier, and it also deals respectable damage. It's the most reliable protector for any team.

Its core skill, "Countercrush," enhances Block and allows for powerful counter-attacks.

Notes

Shield Knight

Radiant Guard

A reactive tank that can hit back hard. It generates strong shields based on max HP and feels powerful when fully buffed. However, when the shield breaks, it enters a vulnerable period, requiring timely support from a healer. Overall, it's a fun and solid tank choice with good offensive presence.

Verdant Oracle

Healing

The pinnacle of pure, dedicated healing. Its immense direct healing throughput makes it an S-tier necessity in coordinated high-pressure raids (like dragon fights), where its raw power is irreplaceable. However, this specialization struggles to compete in general daily content, where the hybrid damage and healing of Beat- Performer-Dissonance often overshadows a pure healer's role. This situational nature, S-tier in its ideal environment but less impactful elsewhere, is why it earns a solid A-tier placement in the overall global meta.

Beat Performer

Concerto

Support specialization focusing on team-wide damage amplification. Superior mobility and evasion compared to Dissonance. Compensates for reduced personal damage and healing with exceptional utility, showing great potential for future large-scale content.

Stormblade

Iaido

Embodies the classic samurai fantasy with a focus on high burst damage. It builds "Thunder Sigils" and consumes them for a single, devastating "Iaido Slash." The gameplay is clean and efficient, rewarding good timing while still providing decent damage even if rotations aren't perfect.

Wind Knight

Overdrive

The definition of high-risk, high-reward. It demands precise positioning and flawless combo execution to unleash its insane damage potential, capable of deleting groups of enemies. However, mistiming a rotation or getting interrupted mid-combo leads to significant downtime. Its high skill ceiling justifies its placement.

Shield Knight

Bulwark

A steady and reliable defensive tank. It may not be flashy, but it offers good self-sustain, consistent damage, and strong defensive uptime. While its HP pool isn't the largest, effective use of blocks and dodges ensures solid survivability, making it a comfortable and safe pick for tank mains.

Notes

Stormblade

Moonblade

A visually stunning spec that suffers from demanding execution. Its damage is heavily reliant on maintaining combos; dropping one causes DPS to plummet. Furthermore, it's almost purely single-target with minimal AoE, making it inefficient in fights with multiple enemies despite its stylish appeal.

Frost Mage

Ray

Fun and straightforward in the early game, dealing good AoE damage by channeling beams. However, its late-game viability is hampered by its stationary cast requirement, which becomes a severe liability against highly mobile bosses, often leading to interrupted casts or unavoidable damage.

Heavy Guardian

Stonewall

An awkward hybrid that tries to blend tank durability with DPS, but doesn't excel at either. It has brief burst windows where it feels powerful, but these are followed by long periods of cooldown where it lacks impact. Its inconsistency places it below the Block spec.

Marksman

Falconry

An excellent farmer and AoE specialist, unleashing flurries of area attacks. Its major flaw is its terribly low single-target damage, making it ineffective against bosses. It requires a team to cover this weakness, otherwise it's primarily a stylistic choice for clearing mobs.

This spec relies on critical hits to trigger coordinated attacks from the Falcon.

Notes

Wind Knight

Aerial

The concept of aerial combat is exciting, but the execution is lacking. The movement feels janky, often causing players to get stuck on terrain or walls. On mobile devices, the camera struggle is a significant issue. While the AoE potential exists, the overall clunky and inconsistent gameplay holds it back in most content.
